Cooper Creek, GA
The color pattern of this milliped, red paranota (lateral segmental expansions on the dorsa) with white transverse connecting bands, readily identifies it as Sigmoria (Falloria) nantahalae Hoffman, 1958. It occurs in the northernmost cos. of Georgia northward to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Swain Co., NC. With 2 legs on segment 7, it is a female.
